Manchester United have parted ways with head coach Ruben Amorim, with the 40-year-old Portuguese manager leaving his role with immediate effect following a complete breakdown in relations at the club.

According to a report by The Athletic, Amorim’s dismissal comes after 14 months in charge, bringing an abrupt end to a tenure that had initially promised a fresh direction for the Old Trafford side.

While the club has yet to issue a detailed statement outlining the specific reasons behind the decision, sources indicate that internal disagreements and strained relationships made Amorim’s position untenable. The breakdown is understood to have involved key figures within the club’s hierarchy, ultimately leading to the decision to terminate his contract.

Amorim joined Manchester United amid high expectations, having built a strong reputation in European football for his tactical approach and man-management skills. However, despite flashes of progress, his time at the club was marked by inconsistency on the pitch and growing tensions behind the scenes.

Manchester United are expected to announce interim arrangements as they begin the search for a new permanent manager. The dismissal adds to a period of uncertainty at the club, which has been undergoing significant changes both on and off the field.

Further details on Amorim’s departure and United’s next steps are expected to emerge in the coming days.
